Turned Away

March 20, 1986

TORONTO — The sexual assault victim asked for help at a rape crisis center and was turned away. He is a man. ''That's chauvinistic,'' remarked Judge Ted Wren when the attorney for the 27-year-old apartment building superintendent described what happened after the attack by two men who also tortured him. Wren placed the victim on two years' probation after he pleaded guilty to possession of a deadly weapon. A few days after the attack, the victim had been arrested while carrying a knife. He said he was on his way to an apartment where he believed he could find one of his attackers.
